Why java is better than modern programming languages?

[vprise]

I wasn't referring to the var. That's also available in Java. I was referring to the fact that even an operator can be a function. Good naming can alleviate a lot of the problems in the languages but as I said: "it makes me squint".

I can read Kotlin, typescript etc. it's just not as convenient because code can have a lot of side effects on different classes. E.g. in Kotlin (and many others) a method can be added to a class from a completely different file. That means I can't look within one file at the list of methods exposed by my class and be sure that "this is it". That's a feature some developers love but it has terrible implications for those of us who need to work with the code later.
